Job Costing (JC)

Accredo’s Job Costing (JC) module is the central hub for project-oriented businesses that need precise control over costs, progress, and profitability. Whether you're managing construction work, manufacturing operations, equipment usage, or service jobs, JC provides end-to-end visibility and control from quoting through to invoicing and completion.

Comprehensive Job Tracking

Create detailed job records that track materials, labour, subcontractors, equipment usage, and overheads. Break jobs into stages with individual budgets, then monitor actual costs versus budget in real time. With JC, you always know where each job stands financially—and operationally.


Quotes, Budgets & Fast Revisions

Prepare professional quotes, estimates, and job budgets directly within JC. Use Accredo’s built-in document designer to customise layout and branding, and choose which details to include—like whether or not to show unit pricing or hourly rates. Email quotes instantly as branded PDFs. If a customer changes their requirements, simply duplicate the existing job, make changes, and send a revised quote—no need to re-enter everything from scratch.


Materials & Cost Management

Link job-specific purchase orders directly from the PO module. When items are receipted through Accounts Payable (AP), they are logged in Inventory Control (IC) and instantly assigned to the correct job—no manual steps required. Job Status reports provide real-time snapshots of costs, committed items, and materials still in transit.


Invoicing & Progress Billing

Create invoices directly from JC. Bill by stage, progress claim, retention, or variation—flexibly adapting to your project structure and contract terms. You can view outstanding billables, monitor what has already been invoiced, and close the loop on every cost incurred.


Profitability & Performance Insight

Post-job analysis helps you understand exactly where profits were made—or where they weren’t. Compare actual vs. expected performance, identify inefficiencies, and use this insight to refine future quoting, resource allocation, and job planning.


Modular Integration

JC integrates seamlessly with Inventory Control, Purchase Orders, and Accounts Payable, ensuring that every transaction—from stock consumption to labour to external purchases—is accurately reflected in job costs without double-handling.
